SSKM Construction Corp tears off and replaces asphalt shingle and metal roofs in Poughkeepsie and across the Hudson Valley. We strip to the deck, repair what the old roof was hiding, and rebuild the ice barrier, underlayment, and flashing before a single shingle goes on. Most homes finish in one to three days.
- Tear-off or overlay? Tear-off, almost always. An overlay hides the deck right when it needs inspection.
- Asphalt or metal? Architectural asphalt carries 30 to 50 year ratings; standing-seam metal runs 40 to 70.
- Rotted decking? We show you, explain the extent, and price the repair before proceeding.
A replacement roof is only as good as what goes on before the shingles. SSKM strips to the deck, repairs what the old roof was hiding, and rebuilds the ice barrier, underlayment and flashing properly, so the roof reaches its rated life.

Real Reviews

The roof was completely done and cleaned up in 2 days, his guys had even cleaned out my gutters.
SSKM Construction did an outstanding job replacing the sheathing and removing and replacing the existing siding on my home.
It has been a pleasure and honor to work with Luis and his crew for the past 5 years.
Luis and his crew did a great job swapping out two nasty pull-out windows in my basement.

About Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County
Poughkeepsie sits on the Hudson River in western Dutchess County, roughly 75 miles north of Manhattan, rising from the riverfront to its highest point at 380-foot College Hill. The city is defined by landmarks like the Walkway Over the Hudson, a restored 1889 railroad bridge reopened as a pedestrian park in 2009, the 1930 Mid-Hudson Bridge, and the Bardavon 1869 Opera House. Its seven historic districts, including Union Street, Academy Street, and Garfield Place, are rich with Victorian and Gilded Age homes. The region's humid continental climate brings cold winters that regularly dip below zero and exposure to nor'easters, so the older, ornate roofs across these neighborhoods need durable, well-maintained systems to hold up.

How we approach roof replacement in Poughkeepsie
A leak inside a Poughkeepsie home almost never starts directly above the stain on the ceiling, water travels along rafters and sheathing before it shows itself, which is why guessing at the source usually means paying twice. We trace every leak back to where it is actually entering, whether that is failed step flashing at a chimney, a cracked pipe boot, or wind-driven rain finding a gap at a roof-to-wall transition, before we quote a fix.
Ice dams are a regular call in Poughkeepsie and across the Hudson Valley: heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the roof, which refreezes at the cold eave and backs water up under the shingles. We repair the resulting damage, but a lasting fix usually means addressing the ventilation and insulation that caused the dam in the first place, and we'll tell you plainly if that is what your roof needs. Flat and low-slope sections over porches, dormers, and additions are common here too, and they use membrane systems with their own repair approach, seams and flashing rather than shingles.
The roof was completely done and cleaned up in 2 days, his guys had even cleaned out my gutters.
Why Poughkeepsie homeowners choose SSKM for roof replacement
An active leak does not wait for a convenient time, and how fast a contractor responds, and how honestly they diagnose the actual problem, matters more on a repair call than almost any other job. Poughkeepsie homeowners call SSKM because we treat an active leak as urgent, trace it to the real source instead of patching the symptom, and tell you plainly when a repair makes sense versus when a roof is past that point. With 25-plus years in the trade, a 5.0-star rating on Google, and insurance in place, every Poughkeepsie repair estimate is free and put in writing.

Good to Know
Poughkeepsie roof replacement: frequently asked questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Poughkeepsie, NY?
Most single-family homes are torn off and re-roofed in 1 to 3 days, weather permitting. Steep or complex roofs and any significant decking repair can add time, and we tell you that up front.
Do I have to replace the whole roof, or can you repair it on a Poughkeepsie home?
If the damage is localized and the roof still has service life, a repair is usually the sensible option and we will tell you so. Replacement makes sense when failures are age-related and showing up across multiple slopes.
Should I get a tear-off or an overlay on a Poughkeepsie roof?
We recommend a full tear-off in almost every case. An overlay is cheaper up front but hides the deck at exactly the moment you could inspect and repair it, and the underlayment and ice barrier cannot be replaced.
Asphalt or metal roofing for a Poughkeepsie home?
Architectural asphalt carries a manufacturer rating in the 30 to 50 year range and suits most homes here. Standing-seam metal runs 40 to 70 years, sheds snow exceptionally well and costs meaningfully more. We will walk you through which makes sense for your house and how long you plan to stay.
What if you find rotted decking under a Poughkeepsie roof?
We show you, explain the extent, and price the repair before proceeding. Rotted or delaminated decking has to be replaced to code, and it is rarely visible until the old roof is off.
We pull the permits our work needs and deal with the inspections. If you want to check the requirements yourself, Poughkeepsie permits and inspections are handled by the city, and current requirements are listed on the City of Poughkeepsie official site.
Question we did not answer? Ask it on the phone. You will get a straight answer from an owner, not a script.
